August 29, 1997

Don't sit around this weekend daydreaming about that unbeatable combination of ocean waves, beach sand and cool concerts. Get out to Virginia Beach and enjoy it all at the fourth annual American Music Festival. Though the festival officially kicked off Thursday night, there are still lots of free concerts by some of the best national, regional and local acts throughout the long weekend.

Headline performances at the 5th Street Stage require tickets due to limited space. Tickets are available for the performance by Kool & The Gang and Wilson Pickett with The Commitments through Ticketmaster ($1 service charge per ticket). They will not be available at the gate. Call 872-8100 or 671-8100 to charge by phone. Tickets for all other headline performances are no longer available through Ticketmaster.

Festival hours are 4 to 11 p.m. today, noon to 11 p.m. Saturday through Sunday and 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday. A shuttle service will be available from the Pavilion Convention Center. Parking fee at this location is $5. Call 491-7866 or (800) 446-8038 for more information.
